City Gives Final OK To Buy Greyhound Bus Station

Chicago City Council approved the purchase of the Greyhound bus station at 630 W. Harrison St. for $19.2 million, expanding the Canal/Congress TIF district to fund the acquisition and future improvements. The 38-10 vote followed debates over city finances and transportation access, with some alderpeople opposing the purchase due to budget concerns while others emphasized the need for affordable transit options.
